1536-well plate
Volume (µL) 3-3000
The 32-tube manifold flow rates do
not have minimum volumes.
The µL/sec/well for each type of
manifold, Small Bore (SB) and Large
Bore (LB), is shown:
Rate
SB LB
1
56 125
2
58 150
3
60 162
4
62 174
5
64 187
The default rate is 3.
Low-density-plate manifolds
Like the standard manifolds described above, for these plate-type-specific
manifolds the flow rate is defined as µL/sec/well and the minimum volumes are
cumulative, i.e. any rate can be used to dispense Rate 5's minimum.

Wash Parameters Table
See Protocol Parameters Tables on page 103 for Peri-pump and Syringe
Dispenser parameters. See Plate Types Table on page 9 for default Z-axis values
or dispense heights.
Minimally, a wash step includes an aspirate step followed by a dispense step.
